TL;DR: In this article, the state-of-the-art in present seawater desalination practice, emphasizing membrane-based technologies, was explored, while identifying future opportunities in step improvements to conventional technologies and development of emerging, potentially disruptive, technologies through advances in material science, process engineering, and system integration.

TL;DR: In this paper, an ad-sorption desalination (AD) and membrane distillation (MD) process can be driven by waste heat, geothermal or solar energy.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors estimate the daily chemical discharge of 21 desalination plants in the Red Sea including the Gulf of Aqaba and Gulf of Suez, and compare to the Arabian Gulf and the Mediterranean Sea.

TL;DR: A decision support system (DSS) based on multi-criteria analysis (MCA) was created to compare processes for OMPs removal under various criteria, indicating that RBF and oxidation were preferable over adsorption and membranes processes and suggest that the use of a hybrid treatment process, e.g., combining a natural system with an advanced treatment (oxidation) process, may provide benefits.

TL;DR: The authors' data suggest that increased salinity and temperature levels from discharge outlets wear off quickly in the surrounding environment, and Fungia granulosa seem to tolerate levels of salinity that are distinctively higher than reported for other corals previously.
